<ul>
<li>Property Development: In Singapore, CIT sold 319 units with total sales value of S$513.6m in 1Q21, +72% YoY in units sold and +84.7% YoY in total sales value. Amber Park performed strongly with sales of around 100 units</li>
<li>In Feb, The Tapestry obtained its TOP (all 861 units are fully sold). Meanwhile, construction activities have resumed at all ongoing development projects.

<li>Meanwhile in Australia, fuelled by domestic demand, sales increased across CIT’s launched project.

<li>Investment Properties: 1Q21 committed occupancy for SG office remains resilient at 91.4%, above island-wide occupancy of 88.1%, with positive rental reversion. SG retail portfolio continues to face headwinds. Footfall in the malls for the quarter has been relatively stable, though it is still lower than pre COVID-19 levels. Despite lower footfall, gross turnover sales (GTO) of CIT malls remain strong with 1Q21 GTO registering an increase of over 5% YoY compared to 1Q20 levels. As of 31Mar21, committed occupancy for retail space remains strong at 92.1%, above island-wide occupancy of 91.5%. In Thailand, since Mar21, part of Jungceylon, the Group’s major retail mall in Phuket has been temporarily closed to reduce operational cost. In China, while tenants remain cautious and slow to commit, office leasing demand is gradually returning. In Suzhou, Hong Leong City Center’s Grade-A office tower is now 85% occupied. In Japan, residential rental apartment portfolio within Osaka and Yokohama continues to show stable occupancy and healthy leasing demand</li>
<li>Hotel Operations: 1Q21 global occupancy dropped to 36.8% (1Q20: 52.5%) and global RevPAR decreased by 51.7% YoY to S$44.6 (1Q2020: S$92.4). Singapore continues to face challenges in 2021 until border restrictions are lifted. The UK was severely impacted, particularly in London. The US saw the country gradually reopening with the vaccine roll-out. New York and regional hotels achieved stronger occupancies in 1Q21 particularly with the weekend business.
